The main processing
At first, when connecting the power switch of game machine 100, game machine 100 carries out initialization process: initializes memory, read (S401) such as the program that is stored among the ROM 208, startups.
When having finished initialization process and finished the startup of game machine 100, it is pending that game machine 100 is made a bet etc.: wait for that the player is to primary games and secondary recreation make a bet (S402).Make a bet etc. pending in, game machine 100 waits for that players import processing by input block 101.In the present embodiment, the player can make a bet to primary games and secondary recreation respectively.For example, the player can make a bet as follows: player A to primary games make a bet three game moneys, to the pair recreation game money of making a bet, player B to primary games make a bet 10 game moneys, to pair recreation 20 game moneys of making a bet, player C to primary games make a bet 10 game moneys, to pair recreation 0 game money of making a bet.
The microcomputer 201 of game control unit 102 determines to accept termination condition.Accept termination condition if determine to satisfy, then game machine 100 finish to make a bet etc. pending (S402).Accepted termination condition and for example be to pass through the scheduled time, all players' the end of input etc. of making a bet.
Can be only under the situation that the player has made a bet to primary games, just accept the making a bet of pair recreation, perhaps can whether make a bet to primary games and all accept making a bet the pair recreation regardless of the player.
When waiting for that when making a bet handling (S402) finishes, (S403) and secondary recreation execution processing (S404) are handled in game machine 100 execution primary games execution.The flow chart of Fig. 4 shows primary games and carry out to handle (S403) and secondary recreation and carry out and handle that (S404) is parallel to carry out, but and the nonessential parallel primary games that carries out carry out to handle to carry out and handle with secondary recreation.In the present invention, can carry out handle (S403) and carries out secondary recreation afterwards and carry out processing (S404) having finished primary games.
Primary games is carried out and is handled
Primary games is carried out and handled (S403) is following processing: repeat key element according to the primary games rule and distribute up to having satisfied predetermined condition, will usually determine the valuable resource that the winner who plays and the winner that plays obtain in response to what distributed when satisfying condition.Primary games is carried out to handle by primary games control part 301 and is carried out.Fig. 5 illustrates the flow chart that primary games is carried out the example of handling.When having started primary games execution processing, at first, primary games control part 301 starts key element allocation process (S501).Before beginning to distribute key element, primary games control part 301 for example can pre-determine the key element allocation order according to random number etc. by the mode of cutting apart playing card in advance.Primary games control part 301 is distributed to banker and player according to allocation order with key element.The processing that term described here " distribution " is used to represent to write down the following fact: key element becomes banker that this key element is assigned to or player's key element.According to allocation order among banker and the player which be key element distributed to and depend on the rule of primary games.For example, if primary games is 21 points, then the first element in the allocation order (board) is assigned to banker, and second key element in the allocation order is assigned to first player, and the three elements in the allocation order are assigned to second player.
When having finished the key element allocation process, primary games control part 301 carries out determining to handle (S502) to whether satisfying the victory or defeat that victory or defeat determines that condition is determined.Victory or defeat determines that condition is the condition that can determine the recreation winner according to the rule of primary games that makes.For example, if primary games is 21 points, then condition is that each in banker and player is distributed two boards; If primary games is a Card Games, then condition is that remaining all players have announced with annotating in the recreation.Primary games control part 301 determines that with victory or defeat condition is stored in ROM 208 grades, and according to the memory contents of ROM 208 and distribute the memory contents of key element storage part 303 to determine that victory or defeat determines condition.
If determine to have determined not satisfy this condition (S502 is for denying) during condition is determined to handle in victory or defeat, then primary games control part 301 turns back to key element allocation process (S501) and continues this recreation.
On the other hand, if determine to determine to satisfy this condition (S502 is for being) during condition is determined to handle in victory or defeat, then primary games control part 301 carries out victory or defeat and obtains valuable resource determining to handle (S503).Promptly, primary games control part 301 is according to the memory contents of distributing key element storage part 303, determine each the factor combination on hand among banker and the player, and determine each quality of factor combination on hand, and further according to each on hand the quality of factor combination determine the winner.If the player wins recreation, then primary games control part 301 calculates the valuable resource that obtains in response to factor combination on hand.The valuable resource report of the acquisition that primary games control part 301 will calculate gives value that valuable department of resource management 304, the valuable resource of acquisition that valuable department of resource management 304 will report subsequently be added to the valuable resource that the player has to store.
When having finished victory or defeat and obtain the definite processing of valuable resource, to finish primary games and carried out processing, subroutine turns back to main routine (participating in the flow chart of Fig. 4).
Secondary recreation is carried out and is handled
Secondary recreation is carried out processing (S404) and is also handled parallel carrying out with the primary games execution.Secondary recreation is carried out and handled is according to the processing in response to the valuable resource of winner's acquisition of winner that will usually determine secondary recreation who has distributed and secondary recreation of the rule of primary games.Secondary recreation is carried out to handle by secondary game control portion 302 and is undertaken.
Fig. 6 illustrates the flow chart that the example of handling is carried out in secondary recreation.With reference to Fig. 6 secondary recreation is discussed and is carried out the example of handling.Carry out when handling when starting secondary recreation, secondary game control portion 302 carries out to whether satisfying the definite processing of victory or defeat that the victory or defeat relevant with secondary recreation determines that condition is determined, (S601).Carry out in pair recreation and to handle, do not carry out carrying out the suitable processing of key element allocation process (S501) in handling, will usually determine distributing of determining in handling the victory or defeat of playing according to carrying out at primary games with primary games.That is, carry out in pair recreation and to handle, secondary game control portion 302 carries out victory or defeat according to the memory contents of distributing key element storage part 303 and determines to handle.
Victory or defeat determines that condition is the condition that can determine the recreation winner according to the rule of pair recreation that makes.The victory or defeat of secondary recreation determines that condition can stipulate according to the content of pair recreation, can determine that condition is identical with the victory or defeat of primary games.Secondary game control portion 302 determines that with victory or defeat condition is stored among the ROM208 etc., and according to the memory contents of ROM 208 and distribute the memory contents of key element storage part 303 to determine that victory or defeat determines condition.
If determine to have determined not satisfy this condition (being not among the S601) during condition is determined to handle in victory or defeat, then secondary game control portion's 302 these recreation of continuation and wait are satisfied victory or defeat and are determined condition.
On the other hand, in victory or defeat determined that condition determine to be handled, if secondary game control portion 302 has determined to satisfy this condition (among the S601 for being), then secondary game control portion 302 carried out victory or defeat and obtains valuable resource determining processing (S602).That is, secondary game control portion 302 determines each player's factor combination on hand according to the memory contents of distributing key element storage part 303, and calculates the valuable resource of acquisition in response to factor combination on hand.If the factor combination on hand of banker is strong in primary games, the player loses recreation, so preferably, select the factor combination on hand in the secondary recreation so that lose the possibility height that the player of recreation wins secondary recreation.For example, if primary games is 21 points, when when the banker distribution forms 21 board (for example ace) probably, adopt the factor combination on hand (for example, by an ace and the combination that court cards constitutes) that comprises this board as the factor combination on hand in the secondary recreation.
When having finished victory or defeat and obtain the definite processing of valuable resource, to finish secondary recreation and carry out processing, subroutine turns back to main routine (referring to the flow chart of Fig. 4).
Referring again to Fig. 4, continue the explanation of handling main.Carry out to handle (S403) and secondary recreation and carry out when handling (S404) when having finished primary games, 100 pairs of game machines are by playing primary games and the secondary valuable resources that obtain of playing are adjusted processing (S405).Promptly, when starting the accounting processing, the valuable resource report of acquisition that primary games control part 301 and secondary game control portion 302 will calculate is given valuable department of resource management 304, and valuable department of resource management 304 will be added to the value of the valuable resource that the player has from the valuable resource of acquisition of primary games control part 301 and 302 reports of secondary game control portion with storage.
If asking PayPal to be crossed, the player adjusts the valuable resource of handling and storing, then carry out discharging the payment processes of game moneys etc. from game ticket authentication unit 104, perhaps, the valuable resource that is used to make a bet can be paid, to allow the player play another recreation from the valuable resource of storage.
When having finished when adjust handling, game machine 100 turns back to make a bet etc. pending (S402), waits for that players bet is to start another recreation.
Now, finished the main explanation of handling to the operation example of main game machine 100.

Primary games and secondary recreation
To 21 recreation of the primary games of game machine 100 be discussed.In 21, each court cards (king (K), queen consort (Q), Jack (J)) is counted 10 points, and ace (A) is according to circumstances counted or at 1 at 11 to give the player advantageous conditions.Other board (2 to 9) is counted to former state 2 to 9 points.
When starting recreation, the banker that is played the part of by the microcomputer 201 of game machine 100 sends out two boards to each player with every board inner face towards the other places, and deals out the cards towards the other places one card outside outwardly and in addition to banker one card inner face.
If issuing always the counting of board of banker is 16 or littler, then banker must continue to take out arbitrary other board.If counting of banker is 17 or bigger, banker must be suspended (stopping to take out any other board) then.
It is 21 that each player plays so that issue this player's always counting of board.If counting of the board of being sent out do not become 21, then count and win recreation than player near 21.
Yet, surpassing 21 if issue player's always counting of board, the player loses recreation (" dead (Bust) expands ").
When the player watches always counting of the board sent out, if the player determines to append board, then the player can " (hit) bids " and request send out and append board so that always count near 21 points.On the other hand, if the player determines to send out to append board, then this player " halts (stand) " and plays based on the board and the banker that send out this moment.
If the player has won recreation, then the player receives the payment of the twice of valuable resource that the player makes a bet.On the other hand, if the player loses recreation, the valuable resource of then confiscating the player and being made a bet.
If issue two boards of player at first is ace and the combination of counting 10 board, and then board on hand is combined as " 21 point ", unless banker board combination on hand is " 21 point ", otherwise the player receives three times payment of wager chip.If player's board combination and banker board combination on hand on hand all is " 21 point ", that is,, return to the player if recreation finishes with draw with then will making a bet (wager chip) former state.
Finished explanation now to 21 main rule of primary games.
Next the pair recreation of game machine 100 will be discussed.
Secondary recreation is the recreation that forms predetermined board combination (award) in 21 of primary games according to the board of sending out (object board).Object board in the secondary recreation is initial inner face is issued the one card of banker and issued each player at first towards the other places two boards (three boards altogether).If these three object boards have formed predetermined board combination, then the player can receive the payment of the predetermined multiplying power of the amount bet that pair is played.
Figure 12 shows the example of the table of the combination that is used for illustrating secondary recreation and multiplying power.In the example shown in this figure, if three object boards all are aces, that is, be that ace and two boards issuing the player also all are aces if issue the board of banker, then the player receives 100 times payment of the valuable resource of being made a bet; If three object boards are the identical boards except that ace, then the player receives 40 times payment of the valuable resource of being made a bet; If two in three object boards is ace, then the player receives 8 times payment of the valuable resource of being made a bet; If in three object boards two are the identical boards except that ace, then the player receives the payment of the twice of the valuable resource of being made a bet; If the dealer's cards in the object board is an ace, then the player receives 3 times payment of the valuable resource of being made a bet.
When trump card is combined to form to award by this way, under the situation of dealing out the cards of the possibility height (banker board on hand becomes 21 possibility height if ace is issued banker) that dealer wins must be played, the possibility that provides the player to win secondary recreation, thus make and can avoid the player unilaterally to lose the situation of recreation continuously.
The progress example of primary games and secondary recreation
Next, will the primary games in the game machine 100 and the progress example of secondary recreation be discussed by game picture example shown in the drawings.
Figure 13 shows the picture example on the desktop screen 805 that is presented at game machine 100, the picture example under the state before dealing out the cards.This picture is formed with and is used for main betting zone 1301 that each player makes a bet to primary games and the secondary betting zone 1302 that recreation is made a bet to pair.Player touches master's betting zone 1301 and secondary betting zone 1302 are in the input game machine 100 of will making a bet thus.In example, think made a bet with player touches master betting zone 1301 and secondary betting zone 1302 in each the corresponding game money amount of number of times.
Figure 14 is that the picture state that is illustrated in Figure 13 distributes the figure of the memory contents example of key element storage part 303 down.Distribute key element storage part 303 to pre-determine the allocation order of 21 employed 53 boards of primary games, and this allocation order is stored in the predetermined memory area (board group (deck) memory block 1401) according to random number.Board group memory block 1401 has record 1402
1(first record) is to 1402
53(the 53rd record), each record have board id field 1403 and the expression assignment flag field 1404 whether this board has distributed that is used for Sign Board.
The board ID of the information of board id field 1403 storage representation board types and numerical value.In the example shown in the figure, board ID provides by the double-digit suffix that adds indication board numerical value to spade=S, plum blossom=C, heart=H and square=D.For example, " S11 " represents spade 11, i.e. spade Jack's board, the board of " H04 " expression heart 4.
If when the board of expression is still unallocated on the record, " 0 " is write in the assignment flag field 1404.The board of going up expression when record has divided timing, and " 0 " is replaced with " 1 ".
Primary games control part 301 according to the memory contents of definite board group memory blocks 1401 such as random number, and was stored in the board ID that determines in board id field 1403 of each record and distributes in the key element storage part 303 to be stored in before recreation beginning.
Distribute key element storage part 303 also to have dealer's cards memory block 1405.Dealer's cards memory block 1405 is to be used for the zone that memory allocation is given the board of banker, and has card in one's hand (hole card) record 1406
1With face board (up card) record 1406
2 Record 1406

2In.
302 pairs in secondary game control portion distributes the memory contents of key element storage part 303 to monitor, and determines whether that the victory or defeat of satisfying secondary recreation determines condition (S601 among Fig. 6).In the memory contents of distribution key element storage part 303 shown in Figure 22, secondary game control portion 302 determines that the victory or defeat of satisfying secondary recreation determine condition, and the valuable resource (S602 among Fig. 6) that obtains of definite player.In this example, in the combination of Figure 12, having finished the combination (8 times) of two aces that comprise in the object board and the face board of banker is the combination (3 times) of ace, and therefore secondary game control portion 302 determines 8 extraordinarily 3 times to the valuable resource of player pays players bet in the pair recreation.
Subsequently, suppose that recreation proceeds from the state of Figure 21, the player announces " halting " and does not ask any new brand ofly that primary games finishes.The picture that Figure 23 is presented on the desktop screen 805 when showing primary games control part 301 Exit Games after the state at Figure 21 shows example.In this picture example, inner face shows the card in one's hand 1501 of banker towards the other places,, be shown as plum blossom Jack that is.This image makes the player know that he or she has lost primary games 21 points.
The memory contents of the distribution key element storage part 303 under the picture state of Figure 23 does not change from memory contents shown in Figure 22.
Under game state shown in Figure 23, primary games control part 301 is according to memory contents of distributing key element storage part 303 and player's declaration, determined to satisfy the victory or defeat of primary games and determined condition (S502 among Fig. 5), and carried out victory or defeat and obtain valuable resource determining to handle (S503 among Fig. 5).In this example, primary games control part 301 is determined as follows: though banker board on hand is combined to form " 21 point ", and player's board combination on hand is 18 points, so the player loses primary games and lose the valuable resource that primary games is made a bet, and does not obtain valuable resource.
That is, in recreation progress example shown in Figure 23, sent out favourable board (square ace) to banker, so the player loses primary games at Figure 13; Yet, in the pair recreation, owing to sent favourable board to banker, thus obtain the combination favourable to the player, thus the player wins secondary recreation.
This secondary recreation is carried out with primary games is parallel, thereby becomes favourable if player's adversary's board on hand is combined in recreation in carrying out, and can avoid the player unilaterally to lose recreation, and can prevent that the enthusiasm that the player proceeds to play from reducing.
In the above explanation that provides, a player uses this game machine to play games.Yet game machine 100 can also make a plurality of players to play games simultaneously.Figure 24 shows the picture example when four players participate in primary games and secondary recreation simultaneously.In this picture example, primary games control part 301 and secondary game control portion 302 carry out the victory or defeat of primary games and secondary recreation and obtain valuable resource at each player determining to handle (S503 and S602).
